SIXTH GRADE IN CHARGE OF SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL Under Mrs. Shook's Supervision Boys Great Help to Students Through Safety Campaign. The sixth grade Safety Patrol Boys deal primarily with traffic safety for the grade children of our school: however, they are 'alert for the general safety of the pupils in the school building and on the playground. we feel that qualities of leadership and citizenship are developed through patrol service. The patrol movement was first launched in Chicago in a joint experiment with the Police ,De- partment and Chicago Motor Club, and has spread to all city and rural districts in this country. The Motor Club furnishes us with our belts, badges, arm bends, and 'Certificates of Award' free 'of charge. This year the Wednesday After- noon Club and the local chapter of Psi Iota Xi Sorority have furnished funds for reincoats and cape helmets which have been or- tnis gift wear long dered. We appreciate for most boys do not raincoats for general wear, and when they they are badly needed have to stand several minutes at a time in very bad weather. These patrol members wearing their white belts do not escort the children across the street or stop traffic to allow the chil- dren to pass for they are not policemen, but they serve to keep children on the sidewalk until the traffic crossing. ls clear for their At the end of the school year a recognition ceremony is held st are given those who which awards have served faithfully and satis- factorily during the school year. The boys wish to thank the motorists of our community who have so courteously observed their signs in the school zone. Gen. John J. Pershing. Comman- der of the A. E. F. has said, 'I am intensely interested in this school patrol movement. I have observed these youngsters at their posts of duty from coast to coast and believe they are not only a fine thing from the stand- point of national safety but are receiving splendid training in c1tizenshiD.'

Pearcy of the CAP Speaks to Youth 16 and Over. Lt. Pearcy of the Civil Air Patrol spoke to the high school boys between the ages of 16 years and 6 months to 18 years, Wednes- day, October 17. He explained that if the boys did not enlist in the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve before they were 18 years of age they could not enter the Air Force under any circumstances.

The United var Fund Drive was opened in Eaton High School Thursday, October 12, by a guest speaker Court Rollins, a member or the board or alrecuors or the United War Fund. In his talk, he told e story of a boy who gave his life so that we might have a which to live. better world in He also told of how our service men not only give their services and, at times their llvesg but also give their money to such drives as these. He stressed that since some of us cannot give our time or talents, that the least we can do is to open our hearts and give our money freely. These funds provide many services ln our own country as well as friendly assistance to our fighting allies and the com- fort and enjoyment to the men and women serving our country, The funds help to pay for the services of the U,S,O,, for our families and for the education of our service men's children and for the disabled children of. our veterans.

QLL . It should be the duty of every citizen regardless of his station in life umknow the correct manner of displaying the flag of his country and the proper method of showing his respect for it. Do not permit disrespect to be shown to the flag. Do not let the-flag touch the ground, deck or water. Do not place anyemblem or object of any kind on or above the flag except the authorized head staffs. Do not drape the flag over the hood, top, sides, or back of s vehicle, train, or boat. when displayed from an automobile, or train, or vehicle, it should be from s stall firmly affixed. Do not display the flag on a float in a parade except from a staff. Do not use the flag as s covering for a ceiling. Do not carry the flag flat or horizontally but always aloft and free. Do not use the flag as a portion of costume or dress. 'Do not put lettering of any kind on the flag. Do not use the flag in any form of advertising nor ,fasten any advertising to a pole or halyard from which the flag is flown. Do not use the flag festconed over doorways ofarches, tied' in a bow-knot or otherwise employed in a purely decorative manner. Fbr these purposes, bunting of the national colors is more appropriate, and since the blue Union is the flsg's honor point, the hunting should' be arranged with that color uppermost. Dc not use the flag for snypurpose lacking in dignity and respect. Always treat ,the flag of a foreign nation with the same respect as that of the United States. me church pennant is the only flag ever to be hoisted over the flag. It is displayed only during divine services. Displaying the flag- upside down is a recognized- signal of distress. It is interesting to know the different flags that have been in the United States.

Eaton 18 - Gaston 4 As cu r baseball season 1s'd.re.w- ing close to an end, another very Apleaslng and exciting event took place on Friday, October 6 on our :home diamond with Gaston as our opponet. The first two lnnings were good baseball. The second and third seemed to be good'prac-8 tice for our boys, but ln the fifth inning when our boys went wild and got around all four sides of the diamond ll times, it ls boubtful whether lt was even good practice or notlll Even with an unexperienced pitcher, Joe Elliott, and an un- experlence catcher, Homer Meyer for the Norsemenl our team seemed to be plenty tough' for the Gaston Bulldogs. U Gaston had a very 'rugged' pitcher. By his actions, one would think his motto was 'Strike them out or knock them cut.' Con- sequently Homer Meyers and Junior Bmoot came out of the encounter with swollen fingers, hands and muscles. Incldently, though, our boys were strictly on the 'solid s1de.' ' !'m sure we all noticed those two 'streamline' three baggers Dave Rlebellng got. By the.way, Dave, have you been eating 'Pop- oye's' splnachflll Too bad, Roberts, but we hope the next time you get a three base hit you will not be.ln such a hurry, not try to fly--but touch all basesll Say, team, what have you been doing to attain that excellent coordination of brains and muscle which was used ln stealing second base so frequently??1 that DeSoto bunch dldn't know when to quit. This was' a baseball war, we weren't able to win,so we say, 'Take it away, DeSoto, and may good-luck be with you until the endll May the best team win the championship and let ue all be good losers. Royerton 19 - Eaton 8 On Wednesday September 24, the Junior' High Team had as their guests, the Royerton Junior High Redbirds. It seemed that this day was just one of those unlucky days. Royerton got started first and ended up on tcp by a score of lO'to 8. The team suffered a handicap by the absence of Dick Norrick who normally filled the ,positionof shortstop on the team. Fred Elliott and Bill Thomas were the losing pitcher and catcher respectively for the Norsemen. FINAL PITCHERS' RECORD , LP. A.B. H. R.

They lost to a fine team, DeSoto, in the pky off in the Northern Division of Dels- wsre County play. If dm boys could have defeated DeSoto on DeSoto's diamond on Sept. 22 they could have been. riding in the dr1ver'a seat, but as we all know, close ones count only in horseshoes I -
